Add an App to Access TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits

FALLS CHURCH, Va. - TRICARE beneficiaries have new pharmacy options available
and accessible in the palm of their hand just by using TRICARE pharmacy
contractor Express Script's enhanced mobile application. The new additions let
beneficiaries use their smartphone to safely and securely manage their TRICARE
pharmacy benefit.
 
So how convenient are the latest enhancements?
 
The updated app includes medication reminders and an account registration tool.
The reminder feature gives beneficiaries the option to set up daily alerts to
make sure they take their medications as prescribed and don't skip a dose. The
account registration feature lets beneficiaries create their ESI account right
on their smart phone.
 
"The Express Rx mobile app gives beneficiaries access to their prescription
information anytime, anywhere," said Rear Adm. Thomas J. McGinnis, chief of
TRICARE Pharmacy Operations.
 
Currently, the Express Rx app and mobile-optimized website allow beneficiaries
to register for TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery and change current prescriptions
over to home delivery. They can also order home delivery refills and check order
status. Another feature lets beneficiaries look up information on their current
prescriptions. For GPS-enabled smart phones, the app can direct beneficiaries to
the nearest network retail pharmacy.
 
Smartphone users can download the app for free by going to
www.express-scripts.com/mobile or using services like the Apple App Store or
Android Marketplace. The mobile-optimized pharmacy website is accessible at
http://m.esrx.com.
 
Other available free apps to download through the Apple App Store or Android
Marketplace are the TriWest mobile app and the Defense Manpower Data Center's
milConnect mobile app. Beneficiaries in the South Region can make use of the
mobile Humana Military website, https://m.humana-military.com/ while
beneficiaries in the North Region can use the mobile Health Net mobile site,
https://m.healthnet.com.
